Meet Houston’s littlest 12-year-old DJ sensation

She’s only 4 feet, 9 inches tall and nearly a decade away from the legal drinking age. But give her a box to stand on and a parent chaperone and 12-year-old Elle Morgan can be found at clubs throughout Houston getting the party started.

The daughter of two parents who work in the club industry, Morgan fell in love with DJing at age 9 after a Tiësto concert. Her musical idols include people like Steve Aoki, Afrojack, Nervo and even some Skrillex. Now she can be found spinning at nightclubs around town and is working on an album.

“She doesn’t run amok. She’s always backstage. She’s not kickin’ it and having a good time. She’s there to work,” her father, Christopher Freeman told the Houston Chronicle’s 29-95.com. “As long as she has fun and her grades are up and she’s having fun, that’s all that matters.”

Those late nights at the club mean less time for hanging out with friends, but Morgan doesn’t mind.

“I’m happy with what I’m doing. I think I have a great career ahead of me. I just wish I had a little more free time,” she says. “But this is what I want to focus on. This is my career. Not a lot of kids have parents that are supportive of what they want. I’m lucky.”
